Method for quartz crucible fabrication

A method for quartz crucible formation wherein an at least substantially enclosed chamber surrounds a crucible mold. The atmosphere in the chamber is controlled to include a desired gas or combination of gases at a positive pressure. The positive pressure is achieved because the total outflow of gas...

Zusammenfassung:A method for quartz crucible formation wherein an at least substantially enclosed chamber surrounds a crucible mold. The atmosphere in the chamber is controlled to include a desired gas or combination of gases at a positive pressure. The positive pressure is achieved because the total outflow of gas is less than the total inflow of gas. A heat source is initiated to melt a quartz material lining the mold once the desired atmosphere is achieved, and the quartz material is fused.
